What space and power does an onsite embroidery bar need?
This page exists so you can forward it to engineering and be done. The station brief in full:
Space
Ten by ten holds the machine table, a working/prep table, a garment rack, and a rail for the queue. Eight by eight works when racks stage back-of-house. Carpet, tile, and pavers are all fine; we level the machine table on arrival. Ceiling height is irrelevant — nothing flies, nothing stacks.
Power
A single-head station draws less than a household coffee setup: one 15-amp, 120V circuit with headroom to spare. A twin station prefers two outlets but can share one circuit if that's what the wall offers. Indoors we never bring generators; outdoors we ask for power within 50 feet and quote a distribution plan past that.
Load-in, sound, and strike
Everything travels in wheeled cases sized for passenger elevators — about 90 minutes from dock to a photographed test stitch. Running sound is a low hum that lobby music erases. Strike takes about 45 minutes, and the corner gets vacuumed before we sign out; thread clippings are the only evidence, and we take them with us.
Outdoors
Yes, with three conditions: level ground, a canopy (ours or yours), and that 50-foot power radius. The photo set includes canopy and storefront setups if your stakeholders want visuals, and the retail takeover study shows the circuit-mapping step in practice.
